WARNING:

In the 80's of the last century, I was about 12 years old and my mother was worried about my psychological disorders with mild paranoid symptoms.

On the advice of a friend or a doctor, she sent me to the Decroly center in Lille. This was my first contact with a shrink.

During the first session she presented me with a series of Rorscharch tests.

Then, during the second session, I made her listen to my first sound tinkering made on an audio cassette recorder based on the jingles of the first free radios. She found it great.
But then, when it was time to go to the psychologist for a new session, I wandered around the stores selling equipment for musicians and visited art galleries.

After the third session and an unjustified absence, the consultations stopped: The psychologist, annoyed by my frivolity, sent me home and it was only much later that the doctors declared me "schizophrenic".

It is on the basis of the memory of this first appointment with the psychologist that 40 years later I made this little hand-painted film: RORSCHARCH TESTS.
